Road Traffic Safety Management Systems
Description:
Description: Road Traffic Safety (RTS) management system is a tool to help organisations reduce, and ultimately eliminate the incidence and risk of death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes. Experiences from around the world has shown that large reductions in death and serious injury can be achieved through the adoption of a holistic safe system approach to RTS. This involves a clear and unequivocal focus on RTS results and evidence-based actions, supported by appropriate organisation management capacity. The ISO 39001:2012 specifies requirements for a road traffic safety management system to enable an organization that interacts with the road traffic system to reduce death and serious injuries related to road traffic crashes which it can influence.
